Chapter 902: Chapter 47: Cultivating the Top-level Dharma Body, Zhao Xing’s Second Phase Plan! (Da Zhang, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket) (2)
"Once completed, your rank on the Heavenly Fate Golden List will drop significantly, and the displayed information will be minimal, making it almost impossible for anyone to locate you."
"Understood." Zhao Xing listened obediently.
He certainly didn’t want to be on that damn list.
To him, it was completely useless aside from attracting assassins.
There are better ways to make a name for oneself.
The Heavenly Fate Golden List and the Creation Plate are of the same nature, it isn’t possible to widely publicize them, as all information on them is confidential.
Since it’s confidential, it naturally won’t be widely known.
"Buzz~"
The black and white qi on the Compass hung down from Zhao Xing’s true self.
Within the two auras, golden characters seemed to appear and then completely vanished.
"Alright, your ranking has lowered to nine thousand eight hundred." King Heavenly Destiny removed the Compass from above Zhao Xing’s head.
"Prince, I have some doubts."
"Speak."
"I’ve done so much previously, haven’t I already been known? Now that it’s hidden, is it still useful?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The past is the past, the present is the present. From this moment onwards, unless you were to completely destroy Prince Liang’s stronghold, your rank wouldn’t..."
Zhao Xing didn’t know why King Heavenly Destiny didn’t continue speaking. When he looked up, he saw King Heavenly Destiny frozen in place.
"What’s wrong?"
"Your ranking has risen again." King Heavenly Destiny exclaimed, "What’s going on?"
"Don’t move from where you are." King Heavenly Destiny once again suspended the Compass above Zhao Xing’s head.
"I need to investigate."
King Heavenly Destiny walked out of the secret chamber and into another room.
He first contacted Luo Hou King.
"Luo Hou, my operation here is over, but Zhao Xing’s ranking on the Golden List won’t go down, do you know of any major incidents recently?"
"There are." Luo Hou King brought Ji Anning from Shangyu Bureau over, "Let Prince Anning explain it to you."
"Cousin, I suggest you sit down and listen." Ji Anning said with a smile.
"Why?"
"I’m afraid you’ll be too shocked to stand steady." Ji Anning continued to smile.
"Stop talking nonsense! I’m in a hurry, speak quickly!" King Heavenly Destiny was somewhat impatient with this younger sibling.
"Alright, here’s the situation." Ji Anning said, "When Zhao Xing was assassinated, Xuantian Academy, Shangluo Academy, and Kunyuan Academy all received information."
"This is normal." King Heavenly Destiny nodded, Sima Yunhai and Pang Yuanzhen were stationed to manage disaster relief in Bright Moon Prefecture.
Zhao Xing’s true self and clones retreated quite a bit, they surely detected something abnormal.
"After that, it wasn’t normal." Ji Anning explained, "Because Zhao Xing was in the midst of being hunted."
"Therefore, the Three Great Academies mobilized formidable forces for emergency counteraction!"
"How formidable?"
Ji Anning flipped through the documents and said, "Shangyu Bureau shows that the Dean of Hou Transformation Institute of Xuantian Academy, Ling Tianchen, led Doctors of Governance, Honorary Deputy Directors, totaling fifty-nine people, to Ruoshui Road, defeating Purple Feather King and King Xuanpin, along with their three hundred high-ranking minions guarding Ruoshui Road."
"Hmm?" King Heavenly Destiny was puzzled, "Do you mean those people belong to..."
"Indeed, it’s Hou Transformation Institute’s own forces, they became powerful through self-cultivation, the court merely opened a channel. You could see them as ancient elders, protectors of sects, or Supreme Elders."
"You’re not suggesting their actions were specifically for Zhao Xing, are you?" King Heavenly Destiny was stunned.
No need to be polite, even an imperial decree might not direct this group.
Actually, Emperor Jing had to mobilize them through Li Boqian, who then coordinated their movement.
This is why for thousands of years, the Ji Royal Family kept placing people into the Seventy-two Taoist Schools, aiming to have Ji descendants become key members.
"Don’t be hasty, it’s not over yet." Ji Anning said, "Afterwards, Ling Tianchen issued the Heavenly Meteorology Decree."
"He informed all branch directors in Pinghai and Lvliang provinces."
"Calling for Hou Transformation Sect Ministers of Agriculture to join the resistance movement, and urging those who mistakenly or forcibly accepted the decrees to resist and redeem themselves."
"What?!" King Heavenly Destiny was shocked.
The Hou Transformation Technique can greatly weaken the erosion of Black Dragon Qi Fortune. If the Hou Transformation Sect Ministers of Agriculture wished to leave Prince Liang’s faction, they truly had means to do so, without having to pay a great price.
Transformation, transformation, they could change into another species, naturally causing drastic changes in Qi Fortune!
Now, in the transformation state, only a Fourth-rank Priest is needed to strip away the Black Dragon Qi Fortune!
The Hou Transformation Technique is powerful here, not only against Black Dragon Qi Fortune, but similarly against the court’s Qi Fortune.
If the Ji Royal Family were too oppressive, these experts could completely leave!
If this location doesn’t accept you, another will!
And they wouldn’t suffer much harm.
Therefore, historically, the Grand Minister of Agriculture must first subdue the Hou Transformation Sect, because if this force isn’t subdued, the authority of the Grand Minister of Agriculture isn’t complete.
During Emperor Wu Period, Mi Fei faced this situation.
He was appointed by Emperor Wu as Grand Minister of Agriculture for only a few months before being dismissed.
Firstly, Mi Fei opposed Emperor Wu’s extravagance and refused to let him wage war that strained the populace.
Secondly, Mi Fei couldn’t suppress the Hou Transformation Sect, unlike Liu Tianning who was more assertive.
"What a ghostly sight! I’ve only been in seclusion for a few months, how did this kid become like this?"
"What exactly did he do to cause Ling Tianchen to personally take action?" King Heavenly Destiny questioned.
"Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory!" Ji Tianning stated.
"Explain clearly." King Heavenly Destiny didn’t understand the meaning.
He was a Fate Officer, knowledgeable about agriculture, but not enough to understand an advanced theoretical doctrine.
